Thanksgiving Stipend

Thanksgiving 2024 falls on Thursday, November 28. As the holiday approaches, we encourage your House Church (HC) to come together for a time of reflection, gratitude, and unity. To support this, SP is offering financial assistance of up to $120 per HC member.

  1. To be eligible for reimbursement, your Thanksgiving meal must take place between Nov 18 – Dec 8.
  2. Your HC can claim up to $120 per HC member who attends the dinner.*
  3. The deadline to submit claims is Dec 15.

*Note: Children and guests are not eligible for the stipend.

Submit your claims here: forms.gle/z2L77X2ymj6QkzXZ6

If your HC is small, consider joining another HC for a joint celebration.


FAQ

Can we have our Thanksgiving meal at a restaurant?

No. Thanksgiving should be celebrated in someone’s home, with a host, and a time for sharing thankfulness. It’s often a potluck.

Do we have to serve turkey?

If you can’t get a turkey, consider something like hoisin duck or a roast pig—something that sets it apart from a regular HC dinner and captures the spirit of Thanksgiving. However, turkey is ideal since it’s a traditional Thanksgiving dish, and some members may have never tried it.
